Course programme
MSc Computer Science
Full-Time Programme
An intensive programme (formerly known as a conversion course) for graduates of other subjects than computer science.
Provides exemption (with certain provisos) from the BCS Professional Examinations and a route to BCS membership. Additionally, partially meets the requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) and Chartered Scientist (CSci) registration.
Within this broad coverage, two emphases are apparent. First, there is greater coverage of software aspects than hardware aspects of computing. Second, there is an emphasis on commercial and business information processing applications, with examples generally being taken from those areas rather than scientific applications.
